Babylon Clock

Designed by Samuel Wilkinson

With a form based on layers found in rock strata, where soft mounds of sandstone are split and carved through a sweeping motion to create a delicate rippled effect, the Babylon Alarm Clock‘s 12-sided angled funnel form sits into the desk as if chopped by the surface. The clock features white hour, minute and second hands that are complimented by a bright green alarm hand. Segmented by subtle raised details on the face to aid reading, the time teller also hides alarm controls and the battery compartment inside the rear case. The front is held onto the back body by magnets, which also conducts the action of the on/off switch. The choice of materials and angled edges create a durable product that can be recycled at the end of its life.
